Located in the upmarket leafy suburb of Higgovale, Kensington Place is on the slopes of Table Mountain. The city, its harbour and the surrounding mountains are all visible from each private terrace. Lush quiet gardens and an intimate pool surround the property. The interiors have an unmistakable contemporary feel with eclectic African touches throughout. You can be pampered to breakfast in bed, on your terrace or overlooking the gardens, at any time. An urban retreat yet minutes from the city.

I started with another Cape Town hotel which didn't work out for me, moved to Kensington Place and wish I had found it sooner. The views of Cape Town from my upper floor room were spectacular, the room was cozy and included in-floor heaters in the bathroom and bedroom.

The fact that all the reviews are either Excellent or Very Good (with 95% of them Excellent) tells you just how good this quaint hotel is. From our arrival we immediately picked up the relaxed and friendly environment the team at Kensington Place strive to create.

Upon arrival at the hotel in the morning, we were immediately greeted with some of the friendliest service you could find. We were immediately offered breakfast, which we enjoyed in the comfortable restaurant setting.
